hi, i'm just embarking on my first dmx project in which i have to make my max/msp patch 'talk' to a rosco i-cue mirror using a lanbox for dmx control. there are a few questions i have about setting it up, sorry if these are really basic.

i'll be developing my max patch on a mac, but during the performance it will have to run on a pc. we're using an lcm lanbox.

since i'm using max to connect to the lcm, my question is; from within max is there a difference in accessing the lanbox using the com1 port versus a midi port on an available soundblaster card?

As I assume you are going to use MAX to trigger cues/chases/shows in the LanBox, there is not really a big difference in using serial or MIDI.

Sending triggers via MIDI is more simple, as most of the time you only need some bank select + program change messages.

Via serial has many more possibilities, and has 8 and 16 bit data options.
